home brought out aud shown oHtor US,
while p groom clung to him desperately
to keep him down out OF the clouds.
Finally we returned to the house and
nroceeded Informally to the dining
room where all were seated around
single long table, except the captain gen
eraI himself, who remained standing be-
hind his daughters chair during the
meal. Our party was good deal en-
barrassed by this, for, as We just hlled
the chairs, it looked as though we had
crowded out our exalted host.
We hen concluded that 1T was
through point of etiquette or ceremony
that he did not sit at the table with US.
So anxious we're We that one OF our lad
les asked his daughter. and she e1-
planned that at such affairs her father
rarely seated himself. He liked to
stand and overlook the table, and see
that the servants neglected no one. he
never ate at such entertainments, as he
has 8 weak stomach for indulgences,
and taxes only plain and simple food re-
gulsFly.
The servants were in gorgeous livery;
the wine was superb, so that some of the
COnnoisseurs Of our party felt their eyes
sparkle, and the refreshments simple in
character and plentiful.
When it came to the champagne the
was translated by the consul general |
and Mr. Sherman responded, the consul
general again translsting, and all drank
standing, The speeches were the usual
conventional exchanges of compliments |
and good wishes, but the consul general |
told US atterWard that the captain gen
eral spoke with more warmth and evil
Gent sincerity than WAS usual with him
on such occasions.
before We left an invitation was given
70 come again in the evening. when
tnere would be music and dancing. a
large number of our party accepted, and |
our young ladies were much admired,
ana made great impression. The
9Pahlards we're greatly Pleased at the
1aules coming and dancing, and eur
Young man showed some OF the Senators
Inlng or two in Waiting.
Inc more We saw OF Cuban women the
